Brief Ecstasy

The handsome young Spaniard Rosemary meets on her train journey to Malaga seems to cast a magic spell over her. For those few brief hours she knew a passionate, ecstasy with Paul. But on meeting Mercedes, the girl to whom she is to be companion, Rosemary's dreams of love are abruptly shattered. For Mercedes is engaged to marry Don Pablo Iballo - who is none other than Paul himself! Mercedes is desperately in love with an out-of-work musician, and Rosemary, hurt and angered by Paul's reprehensible behaviour, thinks of a wild plan to deceive him. On the day of the wedding she changes places with Mercedes; and her face hidden by the heavy veil, the ceremony went through. But when the plot is discovered, Paul does not send her away in fury as Rosemary had imagined. He has other ideas: he believes that a wife should fulfil her duties... A captivating love story from the 100-million-copy bestselling Queen of Romance, first published in 1934, and available now for the first time in eBook.
